Pros

Literally nothing Food is ok but not free Campus is beautiful but as a developer what can you benefit from it?

Cons

1. Everything is outdated. They are migrating to web applications but everything is based on a very ugly framework designed and implemented by themselves. I have zero idea why they have to built everything themselves. Do they really think their employees outsmart other developers across the world? Ok, fine, some big tech companies like Google, FB also have a bunch of internal tools and kits developed by their own... But what gives Epic systems such confidence to compare themselves with tech giants? Epic is barely a tech company. 2. Board tries to brainwash everybody. 3. only 10 days vacation every year. Plus managers are not supposed to write recommend letters or any sort of support for formal employees. They do everything they could to keep you "loyal" to the company.... Basically if you turn your back on them, they wish you dead. 4. Code base is a mess 5. You learn absolutely nothing useful for your career if you don't want to spend your entire life here If you don't trust me, try it yourself and good luck!

Pros

Working at epic you quickly are given a lot of responsibility and opportunity, with very good pay for most positions. There are some really smart people working at epic. The company tries to teach ethical culture, and to put the patient first. Some nice perks are the relaxed dressed code, single or double offices, great food. Health insurance is pretty good. The campus is pretty neat, though you spend most of your time in offices or meeting rooms. Also they mostly hire straight out of college, so if you are young there will be lots of people your age.

Cons

With lots of responsibility can be lots of stress and long hours. It seemed to be pretty standard practice to assign everyone more work then they could handle, so you have to do a lot of prioritization. Some management is younger and not as experienced.
